hi, I'm looking for info about Miss Jean Jolly O.B.E. She was the Matron of the southern general hospital. and stobhill hospital in glasgow. I cannot find any records of her Birth or Death to verify if she is related to my line of JOLLYS.
I have a photograph of her, performing the "naming ceremony" of two new air ambulances in 1955. Please can anyone help.
many thanks
duskyree.
thanks everyone for your help, COMPLETED

Hi,
there are several potential Jean or Jeannie Jolly's on the Scotlands people website. Deaths are too recent to view, so you would either have to order the certificate or go a records office to view it. There is one likely death, given that she would likely be over 40 in 1955 and was unmarried.
best wishes,
John

Googling her name did bring up a website for the rcn archives. It seems that your Jean was actually named Jean Donald Jolly. This may help to narrow things down quite a lot.

thanks evie for your reply, it was very helpful. I've just had a look at the google web pages and i see they have the same photo that i have. i was interested to hear that her middle name was DONALD. I had previously had info from the southern general hospital saying that she always signed her name as miss jean D jolly, and i assumed that the D stood for DOUGLAS as the name douglas is used a lot as a middle name in my JOLLY line, passed down from a gg grandmother who's maiden name was "jane DOUGLAS annand".
thanks for your help,
regards duskyree.

Hi Duskyree
When approx. do you think Jean was born? There is one birth entry showing on Scotlands People in 1896 for a Jane (common variant of Jean) Donald Jolly.

Adding onto Monica's info, there's also a death for a Jane Donald Jolly in 1981, aged 84. It was registered in Forfar, Angus, and can be ordered through Scotlandspeople.

hi monica, i've been researching the jollys from the birth of robert walker jolly born 1855in fetteresso kincardine who married jane douglas annand in 1879 through to the present and back to 1645 and was almost complete, when i was told that matron jolly might be related. i have exhausted all avenues but cant find any connection, so i'll have to assume that she was from a different LINE sorry to have been so much trouble.
very many thanks
duskyree.
thanks to everyone for your help. COMPLETED

I am also looking for Jean Jolly, OBE. My mother says her father often spoke of Aunt Jean, OBE. I have also had the same information that Jean D. Jolly was the matron at Stobhill & Southern General. I also know that it is unlikely that she was married, and the only Jane/Jean I have in my tree that could fit this person was married twice. However, she could have been a miss by the time she did the naiming ceremony...death or divorce. I doubt this seriously because the marriage records have my Jane listed as a window display woman. I think she must not have been an actual "Aunt" but I think she was probably a close relative.
